Psalm 41 Text (WEB)

Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil. Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. I said, "Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you." My enemies speak evil against me: "When will he die, and his name perish?" If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it. All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me. "An evil disease," they say, "has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more." Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me. But you, Yahweh, have mercy on me, and raise me up, that I may repay them. By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me. As for me, you uphold me in my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting! Amen and amen. BOOK II For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.

Psalm 41 Text (Hebrew)

אשרי משכיל אל־דל ביום רעה ימלטהו יהוה׃ יהוה ישמרהו ויחיהו בארץ ואל־תתנהו בנפש איביו׃ יהוה יסעדנו על־ערש דוי כל־משכבו הפכת בחליו׃ אני־אמרתי יהוה חנני רפאה נפשי כי־חטאתי לך׃ אויבי יאמרו רע לי מתי ימות ואבד שמו׃ ואם־בא לראות שוא ידבר לבו יקבץ־און לו יצא לחוץ ידבר׃ יחד עלי יתלחשו כל־שנאי עלי יחשבו רעה לי׃ דבר־בליעל יצוק בו ואשר שכב לא־יוסיף לקום׃ גם־איש שלומי אשר־בטחתי בו אוכל לחמי הגדיל עלי עקב׃ ואתה יהוה חנני והקימני ואשלמה להם׃ בזאת ידעתי כי־חפצת בי כי לא־יריע איבי עלי׃ ואני בתמי תמכת בי ותציבני לפניך לעולם׃ ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מהעולם ועד העולם אמן ואמן׃

Psalm 41 Text (Latin)

In finem. Psalmus ipsi David. Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum ejus. Dominus opem ferat illi super lectum doloris ejus ; universum stratum ejus versasti in infirmitate ejus. Ego dixi : Domine, miserere mei ; sana animam meam, quia peccavi tibi. Inimici mei dixerunt mala mihi : Quando morietur, et peribit nomen ejus ? Et si ingrediebatur ut videret, vana loquebatur ; cor ejus congregavit iniquitatem sibi. Egrediebatur foras et loquebatur. In idipsum adversum me susurrabant omnes inimici mei ; adversum me cogitabant mala mihi. Verbum iniquum constituerunt adversum me : Numquid qui dormit non adjiciet ut resurgat ? Etenim homo pacis meæ, in quo speravi, qui edebat panes meos magnificavit super me supplantationem. Tu autem, Domine, miserere mei, et resuscita me ; et retribuam eis. In hoc cognovi quoniam voluisti me, quoniam non gaudebit inimicus meus super me. Me autem propter innocentiam suscepisti ; et confirmasti me in conspectu tuo in æternum. Benedictus Dominus, Deus Israël, a sæculo, et usque in sæculum. Fiat, fiat.

Psalm 41 Text (KJV)

Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
